[SunRescue] 690mp & 240VAC

Tue Oct 17 18:47:22 CDT 2000

It turns out I do have an industrial plug behind the oven, so I might look 
for a convertor cord or make my own. We'll see. Though I was under the 
understanding that the box was coming with a dual plug setup, such that I 
could take up two standard sockets.

"Man today is in flight from thinking."
-Martin Heidegger ("Memorial Address"/Discourse on Thinking)

A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates 
it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral.
- Antoine de Saint-Exupery

-When you aren't sure God is on your side, it better say Springfield on the 
slide.
